In recent months the average Russian has begun to think more favorably about the United States, with over half the participants in the latest polls saying they expect President-elect Donald Trump to further improve relations between the two nations.
According to a report by Russia’s Levada independent public opinion center, the share of Russians who describe their attitude to the USA as ‘good’ is now at 28 percent. In September, this proportion was 23 percent, and in May it was 19 percent.
